Episode Synopsis


Loneliness is an epidemic in our society today.  Recent studies show that 58% of the general population struggle with a deeper level of aloneness while up to 78% of our young people in Gen Z claim a deep sense of longing for connection and yet fail to find it.  In this podcast we discuss one of the features of God's church that, at least at St. Paul's/The Bridge we call the Family Church.  While we all have a biological family of origin that we come from, we often grow apart and grow closer to others.  What role can God's church play to help facilitate the Functional Family Church - a place that can provide a respite from loneliness for many others.  We hope this episode can get us thinking about how we can work together to make this happen.Original Family Church Sermon Series and materials:Great Questions, Great Conversations is a podcast of St. Paul's Lutheran and The Bridge in Muskego, WI.  Please visit www.stpaulmuskego.org for more information.
